This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, July 11,
2019 sponsored by the Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce. You

The story this week is all about the young of the common resident
species of birds. All sorts of newly fledged chicks have been reported
this week, but the hot weather seems to have inhibited the human
population. There are very few reports of unusual species this week, but
it certainly has been a good week to document nesting of the usual
residents.

From Lake of the Woods County, Ben Douglas reported MARBLED GODWITS on
July 6th. They will soon be on the way south again.

Joanne and Terry Johnson visited Old Mill State Park in Marshall County
on July 7th where they saw an impressive number of species including
SANDHILL CRANES, four BLACK-BILLED CUCKOOS, 4 YELLOW-THROATED VIREOS, 3
OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHERS, GRAY CATBIRDS, and a few CEDAR WAXWINGS.

Here is central Pennington County I heard an INDIGO BUNTING singing in
our neighbor's yard.

Alex Sundvall recorded HERMIT THRUSHES singing at Vergas in Otter Tail
County on July 11th. A NORTHERN GOSHAWK was observed by Charlene Nelson
at Eagle Lake State WMA on July 6th.

Please report bird sightings to Jeanie Joppru by email, no later than
Thursday each week, at [log in to unmask] OR call the Detroit Lakes
Chamber's numbers 218-847-5743 or 218- 847-9202. Please include the

report is Thursday, July 18, 2019.
